is publicly admitted; that Germany
has today accomplished all that the

lain the defensive, with matters
jessing as they are, and she will

Now, who and what is this Ger-
many we are fighting and which has
advanced a measurable step toward
the conquest of Europe, if not of
the world? Who is it that has ex-
tended the power of Germany from
Riga to Bagdad? Is it the Kaiser, or
von Tinpitz, or von Hinderburg, or
the whole outfit of junkers? No! It
is the German people, united and
firm, behind the Kaiser! This is the
Germany the United States is fight-
ing, and don’t anyone make any mis-
take about it.
It may be that the German people
are misled; that they have had
wrong ideas and wrong ideals instill-
ed in them from childhood; and that
the State house become a bug house?

RESISTING THE DRAFT.
The number of those resisting the
draft is, fortunately, very few; there
should be none. Some are conscien-
tously opposed to war—any war—
and may prefer to submit to any
punishment the government sees fit
to inflict rather than to take up arms,
but even such can not justify resist-

So constantly has this traffic sent
its victims into the toils of the law,
so constantly and unceasingly have
its victims been poured before me; so
destructive to human happiness has
been its terrible blight, that I was fi-
nally forced to ask myself the ques-
tion, “Why should it not be suppress-
ed?”
I though of the old argument that
we had no right to interfere with a
man’s personal liberty, but then I re-
membered that I, the district attor-
ney, had been asking jurors to take
from the victims of this traffic their
personal liberty and in a few rare
instances their right to life itself, be-
cause such individuals hafl grossly of-
fended against society. And yet the
wrong these men committed was
caused by the liquor traffic, or at
least the liquor traffic was an ac-
complice before the fact.

coal prices were fixed by President
Wilson tonight at every mine in the

government demands he must submit
without complaint, to any punish-

ment be imprisonment or death.

the will of the peope,. but it is a gov-

timates by the Federal Trade Com-
mission after months of exhaustive
inquiry and investigation. The coun-

to resist the law—any law—because

to put murder, rape and theft into
the hearts and minds of men? Is
this the much-boasted-of personal lib-
erty ? It may be true that sober citi-
zens ought to have the privilege of
enjoying a light drink in moderation
but if, in order to do this there must
be given to the great number of men
who know no restraint in the matter
drink the personal liberty to make
hogs of themselves, beat and mistreat
their wives, starve their children, and
be a burden upon organized society,
then we sober men who may enjoy
the privilege of light refreshment in
moderation ought to be patriotic
enough, ought to have sufficient in-
terest in the wives and babies of

small pleasure for their benefit.”
During the hot weather of thi,
summer months some member of al-
most every family is likely to be
troubled with an unnatural looseness
of the bowels, and it is of the great-
est importance that this be treated
promptly, which can only be done
when the medicine is kept on hand.

much as five years ago. At that
